Does it have call waiting ability?

Yes. According to the instructions that came with my phones, you can use the Flash Button for Call Waiting but you must have the Call Waiting feature as part of your telephone service for this to work.

No, unless it is in use. You can use your phone as you would regularly with the FA plugged into the line. When the FA button gets pushed and the call goes out, it may be unavailable for that short time. It really operates smoothly.

Yes, you just put the call on HOLD and any of the other lines (handset or base) can pick it up

I can't answer this because I've turned off call waiting (I hate getting interrupted by it, and figure people will call back). I am very pleased with the caller ID feature, but don't know how it functions for call waiting.

No, mine just has a button to answer and hang up calls. Works very well however.

I have call waiting through my phone service provided. I use it with this phone. It is a service I pay for.

Yes, this phone does Caller ID & call waiting if your service provider also supports it.

No, it will not. That is really a function of the phone service you have. Whether you have one line or two lines, the phone company will see a "busy" on the line that is in use. Only if you have two lines, and the ability with your phone service to "call forward if busy", would a call to one line be able to be answered by this particular telephone on the second line.

You need the base phone in order for this system to work. It does have call waiting.

No. Not as far as I have seen. My Tv had caller id hooked up to show incoming calls, not call waiting, though. Hope this helps. I love mine. I have had them, and replaced them, best brand for what I want.

Yes it does...plus call waiting caller id....and it announces the name of the person calling as long as you are not on the phone

Yes it has it. But your battery time is going to be shorter if you use that function. And this phone's battery is pretty weak.

YES IT DOES. during the call. If you are connected to a voip system you can archive the call data.

yes, except this phone sometimes locked in on call position even after your call is finished.

It doesn't beep annoyingly... BUT I'm still trying to figure out how to ACCEPT the call waiting call!! Doesn't address it in the manual, and it's hard to test it out until it's actually happening... and friends start getting annoyed when you a) cut them off and/or b) can't answer their call! Otherwise, I so far love this phone. I got it for it's EcoFriendly mode, to keep the EMF footprint in my home as low as possible... but love it for lots of other reasons!

Yes. There is a switch that allows the choice of a 5 minute delay or a 30 minute delay after which the calls are initiated.

No it does not. Also the numbers don't like up. One other thing I don't like is that you can tell the last number you called but not the time or how long you were on that call... Good phone other wise...
